Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 586: Commander and Warrior (Part 2)
Krysses heard Agamemnon's words and was taken aback. He didn't expect such a result.
We must know that although the battle of Troy is fierce on the battlefield, once captured, as long as someone is willing to pay a ransom, the prisoner can generally be redeemed.
And this time, Closses came to the Greek camp to redeem his daughter. He thought it was a sure thing, but he didn't expect it to happen.
The most important thing is that Chrysses is a priest, with a special keen perception (or he can’t be a priest). He immediately felt the murderous in Agamemnon’s words, and he felt the omen of fate. Knowing that if he said more, the commander-in-chief of the Greek coalition forces would violate morals and kill himself.
Crysses was silent, and cautiously withdrew from the Greek camp. There were no soldiers and princes around to stop him from leaving.
Crysses slowly walked to the coast, looking at the sea in the distance, holding his hands high in tears, praying: "Great Apollo, you are the **** who rules such a large area, please Listen to my complaint! For many years, I have cleaned the temple for you, selected sacrifices for you, and offered sacrifices to you. I pray that you will avenge the Argosians for me and let them know how powerful your golden arrows are."
He prayed loudly, his voice sad and strong.
Mount Olympus
Apollo was sitting on the golden seat, drinking wine and thinking about his thoughts. At this time, the prayers of Chrysses passed through the barriers of space and reached Apollo's ears.
Apollo heard his prayers, understood the ins and outs of the matter, and felt angry.
The Greeks are too arrogant, knowing that Krysses is the priest of his temple, it is enough not to agree to the request to redeem his daughter, and they have to humiliate Krysses. This is simply a provocation to himself.
Apollo decided to give a good lesson to the arrogant Greeks who knew nothing about the heights, so that they could understand that the gods were not to be blasphemy, and that his priests could not be humiliated at will.
Apollo stood up and left Mount Olympus in anger, carrying a sacred bow and a quiver full of arrows on his shoulders, and after a while he came over the Greek camp.
Apollo was hovering quietly above the barracks, and no one could find its existence. Looking down at the dense crowd below, Apollo took down the divine bow, aimed at the Greek camp and shot it down.
"Shoo."
The bow and arrow disappeared in the barracks for an instant, penetrating the bodies of the animals and soldiers in the camp, but no one felt abnormal.
Arrows were shot by Apollo to every corner of the Greek camp. The soldiers and animals that were hit by the arrows did not feel anything.
But soon, soldiers and livestock in the Greek camp fell ill with the plague and died in misery and howl.
The accompanying doctor saw the soldiers suffering from the plague and was helpless, and could only watch these soldiers die in pain.
For a time, there was a gloomy cloud in the Greek camp.
Troy City·Prince Mansion
Spring is blooming. According to the Greek tradition, Pei Ziyun’s mansion planted fruit trees and planted grapes. Pei Ziyun has not gone out these days. He stayed in the mansion with Onone and Helen, and pointed out how to dig the pools and piles. From the rockery.
Only when he smiled, Gusnier came over, and Pei Ziyun didn't hesitate to get up: "You will be busy, and I will come back when I go."
Speaking, listening to Gusnier's report.
"This is Apollo's revenge." After listening to it, Pei Ziyun stopped. Although the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, it was still cold and faintly with a layer of brown mist.
The priesthood of Apollo is difficult to say. Some people say that it includes light, prophecy, music, healing, etc., and it will even be confused with the sun **** in the future, but the original name is "Long Shooting God"!
When Chrysses came back with a sullen face, he knew that the Greeks were about to face bad luck, and the gods would not look at his priests being insulted and indifferent.
Sure enough, now I have received the news from Gusni that the Greek camp is having a plague.
This kind of plague descended by the gods, ordinary medicine may have an effect at all, and can only ask the gods for help, hoping to obtain its forgiveness.
So when Krysses came back with a sad face, Pei Ziyun told him, don't worry, after a while, the Greeks will naturally obediently agree to the request.
"Hmph, Apollo is said to be bright and life-like, but its bow is a plague arrow, or a supernatural disease. Is this a life and death?"
Pei Ziyun quickly stepped up the city wall, looked up, looked at the billowing smoke from the Greek camp in the distance, knew that the plague-infected corpse was being burned, and couldn't help but sneered.
The Greeks were arrogant and finally paid the price. I believe that the plague brought to them by Apollo this time will be very effective, but this is only the beginning, and the good show will continue to be staged.
"Agamemnon dominates the whole army. It is easy for people to get used to this order, so his prestige is getting higher and higher. In the script, the gods use Achilles' hands to hit hard. After Agamemnon, he forced Agamemnon to admit his mistake, so please come out of Achilles."
"I will proceed according to this script, but the result is not to make the Greeks painless, but to have a big explosion." Pei Ziyun asked the standing Gosne: "How about the next step, I can make sure Safe?"
"Prince, you can ensure safety. All those who speak are indirect, and some even made a few turns."
"Well, tell them, do things well, I will not treat them badly, this time you did a good job, go down to receive the reward." Pei Ziyun said lightly.
"Thank you, the prince for the reward." Gusnier finished speaking, retiring.
This time, the chess pieces that Gusnéan inserted in the Greek coalition army played an important role. They just spread some rumors along the way, and they could make the conflicts between the heroes and commanders of the Greek coalition army open to the public.
At this time, they don't have to fight, they just engage in internal fights.
In the Greek camp, the plague caused the death of various animals at the beginning, and then slowly spread to people. The soldiers died one by one, and the number was slowly increasing.
This plague seems to be more and more powerful as the number of people infected with the plague increases. At first, it infects livestock, then ordinary soldiers, and furthermore, it may be heroes and princes.
The firewood for cremating the corpses in the camp burned day and night, and the corpses were removed one by one from the camp.
Achilles looked at the corpses with a worried expression on his face. If they continue like this, without the Trojan attacking, they themselves will be dragged down by the plague.
At this moment, a troubadour singer saw Achilles' worried expression, and he wanted to say something, and stopped again.
"What do you want to say?" Achilles noticed. This is a troubadour singer from his hometown Tesalia recently. It is said to be a bit famous, but he grew up on the island of Skaros and is not familiar with it. .
Just listen to the trembling singer trembling and saying: "Prince Achilles, this situation in the army may be resolved through the priests and the gods."
"Your suggestion is good, I will take it." Achilles said little by little, and dropped a piece of gold to the troubadour. He was inspired by what the troubadour said. He felt that this time The matter can only be resolved by the gods, and it is decided to bring it up at the prince meeting.
The prince meeting of the Greek coalition is a meeting attended by all princes and heroes. It is also the highest meeting for the Greek coalition to make decisions. Important things will be discussed and passed at this meeting before they will be implemented.
At this time, the plague incident in the camp caused all the princes and heroes to gather again for a meeting.
"There are more and more people infected with the plague. We should isolate these people and bury them. If they wait for cremation, the firewood can no longer keep up with the demand."
At this time, Achilles stood up and said: "Our doctors with the army have no good solution to this plague. I hope to consult a priest, a fortune-teller or a dream interpreter. Let them ask for divine will, and see what they can do to calm Apollo’s anger and eliminate the disaster in the army."
"Yes, we should offer sacrifices to the gods in order to find a way to solve this plague." Everyone nodded in agreement with Achilles' proposal, thinking that only by asking the priest or fortune-teller to ask the gods can the plague be resolved. .
Agamemnon was very angry when he watched the arrogant young man express his opinions and gained the approval of many princes.
He thinks that Achilles's opinion is to grab the limelight, buy people's hearts, and challenge his authority. Or, even if Achilles figured out a way, why not tell himself in advance?
Agamemnon absolutely cannot tolerate such things happening, and is about to fight back. At this moment, someone suddenly said: "There is no need to go to priests or diviners. We don't have one of us who can communicate with the gods at any time. The prophet?"
After hearing him say this, everyone remembered that Kalkas was a great Greek prophet and could ask the gods about the solution to this plague. Everyone forgot to ask his opinion at the beginning.
Kalkas’ face was full of bitterness. In fact, he knew the reason for a long time, but he didn’t want to say anything. He hoped that everyone would forget him at this time—because the essence of this matter is the contradiction between the commander and the brave general. In this world, force is more important, so contradictions are more acute.
No matter what Karkas says, he will offend Agamemnon.
Agamemnon is the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. Once he offends Agamemnon, he may be in danger of his life, because he knows too well what kind of person Agamemnon is—for the sake of his own power, he can sacrifice His own daughter, she has offended herself, and the fate can be imagined.
But the gods wanted him to speak, and he couldn't hide. He stood up helplessly. He knew that if he said these things, he would definitely offend Agamemnon to death. Then he was in the Greek coalition army. The days are coming to an end, and someone must be found to protect him.
Kalkas looked at Achilles~IndoMTL.com~ and said, "Achilles, if you can protect me from harm, I can explain in detail why the gods are angry."
Although Achilles was a little surprised, he still said aloud: "Great prophet Karkas, although you boldly say the reason, I will protect you from anyone's harm."
Karcas heard Achilles' assurance in front of so many people, and he really relaxed, and he was not afraid of Agamemnon’s apparent revenge.
"The gods are not angry because we fail to keep our oaths and sacrifices. His anger is that Agamemnon has insulted his priest. If we don't return the priest's daughter to him, then Apollo will not give up. "
"It will continue to bring disasters to us and make more and more dead. Only by fulfilling his wishes can we regain the grace of God."
What Kalkas said was undoubtedly like a stone thrown into the calm water, splashed with waves.
Everyone is discussing the rationality of Kalkas's remarks. If this is the case, we can only persuade Agamemnon to put back the priest's daughter Kryseis to calm Apollo's anger.
"I think it might be the same as Kalkas said, it was the commander of Agamemnon who insulted the priest of the gods and did not return his daughter to him."
"If we want the gods to calm down their anger, we must return Closses to the priests as soon as possible, otherwise our soldiers will have to endure the plague."
Achilles is very young, now only fifteen or six years old. I didn’t expect it to be caused by Agamemnon’s failure to return the priest’s daughter Chryseis last time, but he knew the situation. Yes, let Agamemnon return the daughter of Chrysses.
But with this, Agamemnon was furious and thought: "Achilles, do you want to seize power now?"
